■ Lin Qingyun is diagnosis and treatment for patients.

Children's incisors are "ground bag sky", and they want to wait for the 18 years old to correct them. As a result, a jaw bone anti -jaw needs to be treated with surgery; the 14 -year -old girl has a good features, but it looks "no chin", and the dental is not neat; Children look at "” teeth ", why doctors suggest to see the Department of ENT ...

What should I do if the child has incarnation, teeth, "ground bag", etc. What should I do? Today is the National Love Day. The theme of the event is "Oral Health and Sports Health". Knowledge of orthodontics of adolescents.

3 years ago, a beautiful teeth 9 -year -old girl was now opening her lip to teeth and collapsed the bridge of the nose

Tong Tong (a pseudonym) of a 9 -year -old girl, a beautiful teeth three years ago. Nowadays, teeth are incompatible, lip to teeth, small chins, and collapse of the nose. Parents are very puzzled. I really do n’t understand how the child has changed.

Lin Qingyun, a physician of Orthodontics, found that Tong Tong had the habit of breathing, especially when he was sleeping at night, and he was not concentrated and active during the day. Combined with oral examination, the child's teeth are narrow, crowded, and tight lips are closed; the children's glands of children are large and the upper respiratory tract is narrow. Lin Qingyun initially judged that Tongtong may be the "mouth breathing" faces caused by gonad -like hypertrophy.

Lin Qingyun suggested that parents take their children to the ENT department first. Parents are puzzled. Lin Qingyun explained that the reason why children have sleep and respiratory disorders generally exist, such as adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy, or jaw development (lower jawbone). It may cause the upper respiratory tract stenosis and abnormal ventilation. When the human body is lying down to sleep, the upper respiratory tract is narrower than when sitting. At this time, the brain will receive feedback with obstacles to breathing, and will open the mouth to help breathing, which will cause a series of changes in subsequent teeth and faces. Only by solving the problem of sleep disorders and corrected mouth breathing faces can this fundamentally solve the problem.

Of course, not all mouth breathing is caused by sleep disorders. Sometimes, the child is just holding his mouth, but he does not breathe with his mouth, and there is no basic disease. In this case, parents do not need to interfere with additional intervention.

Multi -disciplinary combination treatment

Need to clarify the cause first

Lin Qingyun introduced that in the outpatient clinic, there were still many adolescent patients who came to the orthodontic department because of their breath. She said that with the popularity of information, people have a lot of understanding of mouth breathing, and the correction of mouth breathing and face is more and more valued. The correction of mouth breathing faces is a process of multidisciplinary combination. If it is caused by a clear adenoid or tonsil hypertrophy, you can intervene through drugs and surgical. After dealing with this basic disease, you can correct the orthodontic department and wear the appliance to improve the breath of the mouth.

If it is a mandibular development problem, orthodontics is required for orthopedic treatment of maxillofacial development. At the same time, it can be trained with muscle function, which may help patients restore normal face.

The pathogenesis of jawbone development may be that the jawbone development under the determination of congenital genes is small and narrow, or it may be insufficient chewing the day after tomorrow. "Downside". It is not difficult to avoid insufficient chewing the day after tomorrow. The key is to correct bad eating habits. Dentists remind that parents can add rough grains such as corn in their children's staple food to promote chewing. Usually they can also eat more crude fiber -rich foods such as celery and leek.

Correctional mouth breathing face

Grasp the best time

What should I pay attention to on the orthodontics of mouth breathing? Lin Qingyun said that the key is to grasp the best timing of correction. In the teeth change period of teenagers, they must use growth and development potential to do some jawbone development guidance, expand the tooth bed, and guide the jawbone to grow forward. After the end of the tooth change period, combined with the two phases of correction to the teeth, the incisor in the interior, and the adjustment of the occlusion relationship, and finally achieved a more ideal correction effect. If you miss the best period of improving facial shape in youth and correction of mandibular modification, re -correction in the adult period, it is a high probability that you need to extract tooth, which is more difficult to correct.
